Hello, and, thank you for your dedication to public service. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor & Board Certified Life/Work/Organization/Corporate Coach in private practice for more than 40 years in the U.S.A. & internationally. I have been an American Red Cross Disaster Mental Health volunteer for 29 years. I work with adults, individually, in couples & in groups. Communication skills among national cultures in the workplace, relationships & the community are a specialty of mine. I am primarily a Cognitive Behavior Therapist (CBT) where I serve as an interactive partner in coaching & counseling providing feedback and skills training. CBT means that we: think > feel > behave. Our thoughts cause our emotions which result in our behavior. The bumper sticker on my car reads: "Don't Believe Everything You Think". I primarily work virtually on a secure video platform. For HerTerm participants, I will serve pro bono or sliding scale. I can be reached through: www.judycan.com, LinkedIn Judy Cantwell, Facebook Cross Culture Coach, 404-315-7331, judycanLPC@gmail.com. I like to respond within two hours. I am here to serve our mission!

I have a small solo practice in Decatur with a specialty in anxiety/OCD and I have an anti-racist, LGBTQ affirming practice. My approach involves listening and collaborating to develop skills that allow us to navigate emotions and thoughts effectively while acting in accordance with our values (ACT, DBT, CBT). I am equipped for virtual/video sessions and would have no more than one hour per week to offer.

I help people who are feeling stressed and overwhelmed to better cope with challenges, change patterns of behavior that aren’t working, improve relationships with friends and family, and increase an overall sense of well being.

By providing a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental, and welcoming space, I help you explore how social, political, economic, and cultural factors impact your health and wellbeing. My approach is compassionate, culturally-responsive, and identity-affirming, with a social justice perspective.

Both my life and work experiences have shaped my work as a therapist. My life experience includes growing up as a child of Taiwanese immigrants, living in Europe as an adult, and advocating for social justice. My work experience includes providing counseling at Duke University Medical Center, Elon University Counseling Center, and multiple therapy agencies.

In therapy sessions, I use various evidence-based treatments to help you work towards your personalized goals. You can learn ways to cope with stress, how to not let your emotions overwhelm you, how to skillfully ask for what you need in your relationships, and to confidently communicate a kind no when setting boundaries at work or in your personal life.

Sessions are offered online via a secure format. Before beginning therapy with any potential new client, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer any questions and to see if we are a good match to work well together.

I believe psychotherapy is a collaborative partnership. Each client brings his/her strengths, vulnerabilities, stuck and wounded places, as well as the desire and potential to grow, change, and thrive. As the therapist-partner I am committed to creating a sense of safety and bring a willingness to be fully present and actively engaged. The way I listen, think, and participate in each therapy draws from several therapeutic traditions. These include Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with its appreciation for the healing potential within the therapy relationship as well as its understanding that one's past can profoundly effect present experiences and relationships; Cognitive-Behavioral Theory and Therapy which recognizes that the way one thinks dramatically impacts how one feels and behaves; and Buddhist Psychology which has taught me that awareness plus acceptance is a key facilitator of change. Please do call if I can answer any questions. 404 444-7758.

Hello! My name is Vena Kim Cain and I am an Asian-American, feminist, psychotherapist and hypnotherapist with a background in yoga and meditation. I work with people who come from varied backgrounds struggling with anything ranging from anxiety and depression to sexual and emotional abuse. I use a range of techniques in my sessions, all custom fit to each client and their individual needs. I grew up in the South with immigrant parents and later went to school in Europe and traveled the world. I believe this has all contributed to my unique perspective on life and my ability to empathize with people from many different walks of life. It is a privilege to work with my clients and I look forward to hearing from you.
